When restored an iphone to factory settings, all the info is deleted, included the icloud account?

If I can to restore an iphone 5 to factory settings it means that activation lock is off, right? so when I tried to activate it, it will not ask me the icloud account that was linked before?

Restore the device from the most recent backup (prior to restoring as new) to put everything back the way it was.

Not quite, because you can still redownload all your purchased apps and music. And everything that is synced from applications on your computer such as your calendar and your contacts can be resynced.

OneLuckyWoman in order to avoid this please backup your iPhone in iTunes.

Once you've done that, you will need to restore from that backup which this article tells you how to do. And than your text messages will be restored as well. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please just let me know.

Item unavailable when restoring a macbook to factory settings

I am in the process of restoring my Macbook to factory settings. while following the steps listed on the Apple website. Unfortunately when I get to the step where you select where the OS X will be installed on, I get an error message that says the item is temporarily unavailable Try again later. I attempted to complete the reset earlier as well and did not have this issue. Unfortunately, I had a limited internet connection and had to cancel. I am now stuck at the Mac OS X Utilities screen unable to install an operating system. I am attempting to reinstall OSX Lion (10.7).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey RyNem,
It sounds as if your erase and reinstall of Lion on your MacBook Pro was interrrupted and you need to start over again. You should be able to restart the computer by holding down the power button to shut it down.
Use the steps in this article to erase and reinstall -
OS X Lion: Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note that it is important that you have a good Internet connection when doing this.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone to factory settings but didn't back up prior to restore?

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

Does the upgrade restore your iPhone to factory settings?

I was wondering if the software update wipes out your phone clean?
I entered in all my contacts manually and I don't want to lose them.

Oh, and by the way... sync your phone everytime you add ANYTHING.. I did a restoral which DOES wipe everything clean.. but after it was all done.. even my contacts were still there.. not the ones I added since the previous sync, but all that where there before my previous sync were there!

I had to restore my iPad to factory settings and now I can't reconnect my icloud email to FaceTime or iMessages as the verification email never comes through what should I do

Yesterday I had to make a trip to the local Apple store as my iPad needed to be restored to factory settings. I came home trying to set up my iMessages and FaceTime but I can't reconnect it with my icloud email as I send a verification email each time and it never arrives. What should I do?

Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases.

I accidentally restored my iPhone to factory settings. All apps deleted. When I log into Game Center ios7 using Apple ID, it loses all my data and my nickname says that it is already in use when I am the one using it. How do I get my old progress back?

If I could log in to Game Center ios7 using my nickname then it would be fine but I am unable to figure out any way of doing it this way

Then restore your most recent iCloud or iTunes backup.

I had to restore my iPhone to factory settings and now I can't sync with iTunes.

I had to restore my phone and I was able to use the most recent backup. However, when I plug into iTunes, it keeps asking if I want to restore from a backup or start as a new iPhone. I have already restored from the backup twice, but the message won't go away. How can I sync with iTunes?

I used the solution posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7838243#7838243
It's weird that you have to restore from backup, and then choose to start as a new phone. But I didn't lose ANYTHING when I did it that way! Thank goodness!
